Array-like class with only strings used as keys
===============================================

[](#array-like-class-with-only-strings-used-as-keys)

Purpose
-------

[](#purpose)

PHP arrays may be veery frustrating with it's mess in key string/integer and associated probems.

It was need to ensure the keys will work predictable as string, but the class still be used as a regular array with `$a['key']` syntax, `foreach` use and all other staff. So, this what it do!

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

In the Composer storage. Just add proper require section:

```
"require": {
    "pavlyuts/php-string-key-arrays": "*"
}

```

I do not think there be a version compatibility problem as it is too simple thing and expected to be stable. However, I recommend to inspect [CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/pavlyuts/php-string-key-arrays/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md) for changes.

Use
